Teething Tablets

My baby boy started teething this weekend. I had quite a few people recommend "teething tablets" to me. I started using them and someone else told me how horrible they were for my baby and that there was a dangerous ingredient in them. Now I'm freaked out. Has anyone else heard this? If so, what ingredient is the dangerous one?

ok I just looked it up, it's the belladonna... it says according to wikipedia that the plant has poison alcaloids in it that can cause nausea and delerium if ingested in high amounts. small amounts though have medical uses.

dangerous ingredient? that's a new one. I used them - highlands is a very well respected brand of teething tablets. They are homeopathic and all natural. they don't work for ALL kids but certainly worked for most people I know.
